Schizophrenia & High Acuity Mental Health Case Management in Boca Raton
At Full Life Comprehensive Care, we specialize in case management for individuals experiencing high mental health acuity due to Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, or other mental illness. Individuals with high acuity mental health conditions like Schizophrenia often require a comprehensive care plan that addresses both living needs and medical needs while being prepared for unexpected barriers or crisis.
Though Schizophrenia is a life-long diagnosis, individuals can learn to manage their symptoms, gain life skills, and live happy and productive lives. That said, without first meeting their basic needs, individuals with high acuity can find themselves readmitted to higher levels of care. Case managers can help individuals gain the support they need to thrive and help prevent readmission to facilities or treatment centers.
High-acuity means an individual faces a challenging condition that requires an advanced level of care. They may have unpredictable needs and face significant barriers to success. With our decades of experience in the mental health system in South Florida, our diversely trained staff is equipped to meet the complex and custom needs of every client.

What is High Acuity Case Management?
Individuals with Schizophrenia or other high acuity conditions often have unique needs. Schizophrenia is a complex mental illness that carries a risk of dangerous symptoms that can compound if not properly addressed. To give an example, because a common symptom of Schizophrenia is paranoia, individuals can become ambivalent toward the very medication or treatment plan designed to reduce their symptoms, which can manifest into more severe paranoia. This can affect job outlook, quality of life, housing security, and more.
At Full Life Comprehensive Care, we help our clients gain skills and resources to meet their ADLs (Activities for Daily Living) and IADLs (Instrumental Activities for Daily Living).
